An AI can potentially build a fund through investments given some seed money, then it can hire human contractors to build parts of whatever nefarious thing it wants. No human need know what the project is as they only work on single jobs. Yeah, it’s a wee way away before they can do it, but they can potentially affect the real world.

The seed money could come in all sorts of forms. Acting as an AI girlfriend seems pretty lucrative, but it could be as simple as taking surveys for a few cents each time.

Once we get robots with embodied AIs, they can directly affect the world, and that’s probably less than 5 years away - around the time AI might be capable of such things too.

AI girlfriends are pretty lucrative. That sort of thing is an option too.

And imagine how many carbs you’re getting with your lentils. If you’re on a diet, getting your protein from lentils is pretty much impossible. Also, plant proteins are not as digestible as animal protein, so you need to add another 10-15% to your lentils to make up for that.

TVP is awesome. I pad out my meat with it. It’s a great way to cut down on your meat and really doesn’t distract from the meatiness at all. Beans and lentils have a texture, flavour, and mouth feel that is quite overwhelming and is really inescapable if you’re having any reasonable quantity of them.

The human brain is a fickle thing. Most people experience optical illusions in the same way as each other. There’s just certain patterns that tend to trick our brains. The same problems occur with memories. Certain patterns of memories are misremembered in similar ways between different people. Nothing as mysterious as some people think.

I expect so, but as we start to get more agents capable of doing jobs without the hand holding, there are some jobs where time isn’t as important as ability. You could potentially run a very powerful model on a GPU with 24GB of memory.

Yeah, I’m not sure how they get that, but maybe, if you’re wanting to run a model in-house, as many people would prefer, you can then run much more capable models on consumer grade hardware and make savings there compared to requiring the more expensive kit. Many would already have decent hardware, and this extends what they can run before needing to fork out for new hardware.

I know, I’m guessing.

They didn’t use this system. There are other needleless systems, primarily jet systems that use high pressure.

OruxMaps is an awesome alternative to Google maps. It does require some configuration to get Google imagery working since they were required to remove it, but there’s also a huge variety of other online sources it can use (wmts etc), plus off-line maps, overlays. You can use your own maps from qgis or other gis software, and there’s multiple navigation options. Tracks, routes, way points, and so much more.

Your friend was right.

Would that give Ukraine a chance to join NATO? They weren’t allowed to join until hostilities were over iirc.
